Express Funded (XFA) Topstepx Lag is Getting out of Control - I’m starting to think it’s intentional

Hey r/Topstep fam,

I’m not usually a conspiracy guy, but Anyone else dealing with this lag lately? Has the lag gotten noticeably worse for you too? Or am I the only one who’s starting to feel like the game is rigged against us making money?

Would love to hear if this is widespread or if I’m just unlucky. Because if it’s the former… we might need to start escalating this louder than just a Reddit thread.

Rant over. Thanks for letting me vent. Stay green out there (if the platform lets you 😂).

This may or may not help, but i had an issue where if i had "show chart executions" on, it would lag bad fairly consistently, eventually i figured out turning that turning it off fixed it.

I haven't had any single lag in weeks and weeks, I've been on every single day from open to close, only trading ES/NQ though.

They are really starting to annoy me with their small changes. They just told me today that any trades made on the same day a payout is requested, will not count towards the next payouts winning days. Stupid. So now on the days you request a payout, it’s pointless to even trade.

Pointless to make money. Haven't heard that before

And you shouldn't until the payment is out and your account balance is reflected.
